THE REVIEW

Use Your Illusion I, an album as you may already know by Guns N' Roses, was released in 1991 along with II.

In this CD, the Guns, as well as though to a lesser extent in II, discover new sounds. Now I'll explain what I mean. Beyond what they had already shown us in AFD, they try to touch more genres. Just as there are pompous hard rock songs (which one may like or not) such as "Right Next Door To Hell", "Back Off Bitch", there are covers, "Live And Let Die", notable are the rock-melodic songs like "Don't Cry" and "November Rain" or even the Country ballad "You Ain't The First".

The four I have given is, however, very close to a 5, but I didn’t feel like giving it (even if reluctantly) because in my opinion it is slightly inferior to other 5 masterpiece albums.

 If the Guns had eliminated some fillers and combined the CDs, the resulting album would have been one of the greatest ever.

 The beautiful 'November Rain', excellently led by Rose in which Slash’s guitar lines fit perfectly.

 Use your illusion, or the shit consumed by young people as if it were white truffle pulp...

 At one point AXL screams all excited 'I want to fuck all the girls on Venice Beachhhh!!! I have a piece of meat that measures 35 cm!!!!'... just go fuck yourselves.

 Guns N' Roses are talented artists capable of composing songs that touch the heart and leave a mark.

 How can you forget songs of the caliber of 'Don't Cry', 'November Rain' compositions of epic character?
